There is something very alive about this sculptural tea bowl by the famed artist Ajiki Hiro, a blossoming to life like fresh shoots breaking through the last winter snow, the warmth of the earth lying beneath pale glaze. The Kodai (foot) is verylow, not much more than a flat spot on bottom, making it very comfortable to hold. It comes enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled simply Shino Wan, and is covered by a stamped paper cover decorated with a sketch of a recluse staring out from his thatched hermitage, a bowl of warmth in his hand, and what appears to be a tree shrouded in snow above.
Size, D 11.5 x 12.5 cm ( 4.5 x 5 inches) H 9.1 cm ( 3.6 inches)
Condition, Excellent
Ajiki Hiro is an artist versed in many of Japans ceramic traditions. He fires Shino, Oribe, Seto, Raku, Bizen and Hagi styles as well as styles all his own. His daring Bizen forms have been compared to those of Kakurezaki Ryuichi, and in fact the two often collaborate. He has been displayed nationally at the Nihon Dento Kogei Ten (Japanese Traditional Crafts Exhibition) and received grand prize at the Tanabe Museum's Contemporary Tea Forms exhibition among many others. He lives and pots in Shimane when not out traveling Japan or the world.
